Default Routing from Niagara Falls to Detroit thru Canada

Driving from Chicago to Niagara Falls; then from Niagara Falls to
Detroit via Canada Labor Day weekend.

Can someone suggest driving directions within Canada ?


405 - 403 - 401. Isn't it obvious?


Sheesh. Highway 405 does not connect to 403 and does not start in
Niagara Falls. Isn't *that* obvious?

The actual route this person is presumably thinking of, starting from
near the Rainbow Bridge, is 420 west - QEW Toronto - 403 west -
401 west. (You would take 405 instead of 420 if you were starting
from the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, north of Niagara Falls.)

However, if you want to use expressways all the way, there is an
improvement available due to a new route around Hamilton. Instead
take: 420 west - QEW Toronto - Red Hill Valley Parkway -
Lincoln Alexander Parkway - 403 west - 401 west. Oh, and there's
a few miles' gap between highway 401 and the border -- follow signs
to the bridge or the tunnel, as you prefer.

If you *don't* want to use expressways all the way, then of course
there are other choices.
